Jordan 3 Posted January 20, 2006 http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll...qtw=640&qth=400 If you played the first game back when it came out 8 or so years ago like me, you should be incredibly excited by this trailer. Not going to be another bad video game movie... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 5 Posted January 20, 2006 Yeah, that looks pretty nice, i would like to think that this film will rock and that it will diminidsh the general thought that game movies suck, i hope this willl be a good film, but for now i'm just sceptical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phatgordo13 2,041 Posted January 21, 2006 I remember when Silent Hill came out on PS1 waaaay back in the day. At the time that was like about as scary as it got. I remember not being able to play the game because I was so worried about getting freaked. lol. I heard they were making a movie a year or two back. Wow the movie looks f*ckin phenominal. Pretty damn close to the games story line. Almost. Still the music...the f*ckin snow...the GOD DAMN SIREN. Oh hell yah, this movie looks DAMN Good. I want to see this sh*t.

papanesta 19 Posted January 21, 2006 This is what happens when Uwe Boll doesn't get ahold of game-to-movie movies. Though, I did just notice on IMDb that he will be doing Far Cry. f*ck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTA3Freak-2001 21 Posted January 24, 2006 Yep I am sold on this being the first good movie based on a game, it seems to cover the game's atomsphere perfectly and ever since playing the game I've thought how great a movie it would make. It sort of takes all the best things about a horror movie and combines it with that of a good thriller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalpura 1 Posted January 24, 2006 Now, I know nothing of, and have never played the games, but this just seems odd. Some nobody woman fighting demons, evil and such to save her daughter? Just seems like a bit of a stupid story line to me. But, I may be missing something. Other than that, ignoring that I don't know what's going on, it looks pretty exciting. And I'm usually attracted to movies based off games (even when I've never played the game ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'm usually attracted to movies based off games (even when I've never played the game ). Her daughter is ill and keeps dreaming and talking about a place called Silent Hill so her mother takes her there to visit one of the "Healers" in the town. Along the way her car slides off the road, the mother awakens to find her daughter is missing. It's loosely based off of the first Silent Hill game in which your character Harry Mason is going on vacation to Silent Hill with his daughter. Did I spot Pyramid Head in the trailer aswel? Wonder what part he will play, he scared the sh*t out of me in SH2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imheretostay 0 Posted January 24, 2006 I never played any of the SH games, nor have I read about them. Can someone summarize for me, and the story for the movie aswell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fido2 0 Posted January 25, 2006 For some reason when I was playing the game I thought it was based on a movie. Looks pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gannonroader 0 Posted January 26, 2006 it actually makes me feel bad reading some people have never played these games. Personally, Silent Hill games are by far my favorite series of all time. I'm actually getting 2 silent hill tattoos very soon. So as you can imagine, every piece of news that comes out i'm all over like bacteria on sh*t, including the new psp thingy coming out. Don't really know what to call it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IV ● XxX 0 Posted January 27, 2006 Silent hill was by far the eeriest and "Scary" (if you will) game out back then. The wheelchair that kept appearing and those f*cked up babies were some creepy sh*t ey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naomi 38 Posted January 30, 2006 A crash course in the Silent Hill series here or here (where I use to admin) The movie is based on SH1, though a few changes have been made, the father (Harry) has been replaced with the mother (Rose) & Pyramid Head was the main enemy in Silent hill 2, but appears in the movie. As far as survival horror games go, this is the series to grab (SH2 would be the most popular & still available to purchase 2nd hand @ EB) even if you're not a Survival horror fan. The whole series is very heavily story orientated & full of gaps forcing you to fill in the holes with your own theories. (But not in the dodgey "We're bored making this game now" kind of way.) The best SH1 game review ever (IMO) by Slowbeef & his SH2 review Hey Konami, Satan called. Your video games are giving him nightmares. So anyway, imagine this. Take a person. Put him in a straightjacket. Burn him to death. Take the charred body and wrap it in cellophane. Reanimate the corpse. That´s the first f*cking enemy in Silent Hill 2. This game is seriosuly wrong.

Natedogg. 1 Posted January 30, 2006 I have significant doubts about this movie, first off the f*cking movie doesn't follow the game, which is stupid in my opinion, and I just hope that it turns out ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naomi 38 Posted January 31, 2006 You've got to consider the average movie goer. Most won't know the first thing about the game, so leaving it as open to enterpretation as the game will only serve to confuse the hell out of people. That & the fact that if you stuck to the game in entirety, you'd spend a couple of hours watching someone wander around Silent hill alone for the most part. Though I can't understand why the movie changed the main character from male (Harry-widow) to female (Rose - married), I can understand that the husband is present, him filling the veiwer in on Silent Hill's history in place of memos found lying around (but again some artistic license has been given to that history aswell) but changing the sex seemed pointless for the most part.

yakuza warlord 25 Posted February 1, 2006 Im not a hardcore slash my wrists fan of Silent Hill, but I REALLY liked the games. The plot was pretty psychotic, and the amusement park in SH3 kept me awake for countless nights. I will, however, be sitting in the theaters in the middle row 11 seats in from the right April 21st of this year. I will see this movie, because I saw the screenshots of the movie and the reverse side looks amazing. This might actually be a good game->movie transfer.
